The OMBRE SHELL Crochet Throw Blanket produces a very classy and elegant blanket. It is an easy pattern that produces impressive results. The pattern is suitable for a girl or boy. Make it in the colors to coordinate the nursery. Makes a stunning baby shower gift!

I want you to succeed in making this blanket and Love It. The PDF pattern includes a detailed 20-page tutorial with 85 step-by-step photos to walk you through and show you exactly where to place your hook and stitch. The photos are very helpful for a visual learner to make sure the stitch pattern looks right. Tips are given throughout. It reads like a friend explaining how to make the blanket. Stitches used are Chain, Single Crochet, and Double Crochet. The beautiful shell border is a 2-row repeat with stunning results! The pattern is written in US terms. A chart is included in the pattern for UK/AUS including crochet terms, yarn weights, and hook sizes. Photo tutorial can be viewed on your monitor or printed off. I try to make my patterns easy to understand and avoid some of the confusion of reading patterns. I try to be specific and detailed to clarify any areas that can be tricky and give tips along the way.

If you are like me you choose a blanket by the stitch/pattern first and not the size. Did you ever see a stitch you really Love but it for a baby blanket pattern and you want to make a large afghan? Not a problem here. Every one of my patterns includes the pattern repeat so that you can make it ANY size.
